The Railway Mystery.

The murder of a young girl at Railway,
n. j., which attracted so much attention a
few months ago remains mystery. The
authorities and reporters, however, are still
trying to solve it. Every few days some
thing appears in the papers which serves to
keep alive public interest in it, Murders
are being committed in different parts of
the country all the time, but they are
quickly forgotten outside of the locality in
which they occur because all the circum-
stances connected with them are known
The Railway case is different. The muir
derer has not been found and no cause for
the crime has been discovered.
Within the last few days it is thought
that clue has been found. but it is not by
any means certain that it will lead to any
thing. One of the Coroner's jury, a few
days ago, stated that a basket, exactly like
the one that was found with eggs I'm it be-
side the murdered girl, was seen by him day
or so before the murder in the grocery
store of Stewart Baker. When he saw it
Mrs Baker was mendng it with piece of
Irvine, and remarked to him that the basket
had had onion Feelings i'll it, The basket
found beside the murdered girl had few
onion Feelings in it and had been mended
with Irvine. The Bakers, when their at
tention was called to this statement, said
that there never had been such basket il.
their store The statement, however, is con-
fitlaed by an old and respectable gentleman
named Osborn, who happened to be present
when tho ulan who makes the statement
was there With this clue it ought to be-
possible to trace the basket into tho posses
sion Of tho murdered girl.

Fast pay Proclamation by 4 Pagan.

Governor Moody Currier, of New
Hampshire, who is said to be Pagan,
said in his proclamation for day of
fasting and prayer: among the tradi
tions that have come down to us from our
fathers is the observance of day of
fasting and prayer at that season of the
year when the genial powers of natur e
are awakening, when the rains and the
sunshine are returning, and the time for
the sowing of seed is at hand. In &C
cordance with this custom, and with ad-
vice of the Council l hereby appoint
Thursdsy, the 14th day of April next, to
be kept by the people of this state as a
day of fasting and prayer, l recommend
that it be observed by them in their
churches and in their homes, in their
fields, and in their shops, with such tenn
perance and sobriety as their physical,
moral, and religious needs may require;
that with Joy and gladness they join the
vernal song of praise which all nature is
Offering up to eternal goodness, whose
loving kindness warns in every kindlin
pulse of life, and spreads a mantle of
beauty over all his works; that they alb
stain from every form of evil, and seek
the rewards of righteous living in tn
world; that they offer up their
prayers, not to be seen and heard, but, in
the silence of their hearts, seek the
divine and holy impulses which lead up
ward to the good and finally, desire the
people of this state, in their devotions
and supplications, to avoid every form
of idolatry and superstition, and CRATE
fully and reverently to recognize in every
act of their lives that Eternal Being in,
whom all things lire and have their e1-
istence.

Married Women's Rights
Cincinnati ENQUIRER.


Hereafter, in the State of Ohio, mar
ried woman's rights will be co-equal and
co-extensive with her husbands.
If she possesses personal property it is
her own, and it will pass TO her husband
only by her consent.
If she owns separate real estate she can
sell and convey it without consulting her
husband.
If she wants to mortgage or lease her
farm or house and lot she is at perfect
liberty to do so.
She can buy and sell, sue and be sued in
her own name without any intervention
of her husband or next friend"
If she is in debt when she marries, her
husband Is not bound to pay the indebt-
sdness unless he chooses. The creditor
must collect from the real debtor.
If she calls her next-door neighbor

and no better than the hypothenuse of a

band is non bound to go to court and be

The law regarding man and wife has
been completely revolutionized by mere
act of notification.
In other words, the rights of man and
wife are made exactly identical. Whatev.
er right the man possesses under marriage
relation, the same right is possessed by
the wife without modification or abridg
ment.
Whatever man may do, a wife may do
also.
According to the law of Ohio to day,
husband and wife are not one person, but
two separate and distinct individual. so far
as their independent right to acquire and
dispose of personal, real, anG mixed prop
erty is concerned.
Some of the most complicated and
vexatious litigation which has ever lum-
bered up the dockets of the Ohio courts,

very pretty young woman, still in her
POS, with full round face, rosy cheeks,
and clear complexion, sat in Judge
Garnett's court to-day and attracted gen
eral attention. She was well dressed and
looked happy and prosperous. 1t was
Fannie Harper, nee Scoville, a niece of
Charles j. Guiteau, the assassin. She
was DESTROYS of securing a divorce from
William b. Harper, former young
lawyer of this city, and was assisted in
this by her father, George Scoville, the
attorney, who also acted as Guiteau's at
torney. Mrs. Harper gave her testimony
in a clear, straightforward way, and dis
played no agitation. She was married to
Mr.. Harper, she said, July 20, 1882, in
this city, and lived with him until last
September, during which time he had
been in an intoxicated condition nearly
three-fourths OF his time. He com
menced to drink soon after the marriage
and might have made money at his pro-
fession had he abstained from liquor,
but as it was he was never able to support
her, and she was compelled to take in
roomers and do dressmaking to keep him.
She tried in every possible way to reform
him, paid his expenses at the Washing
tonian nome for weeks on several differ
ent occasions, but he was no better for it,
and finally the superintendent of that in
stitution refused to allow him In the
home, saying that he was beyond hope of
reform. When Harper was drunk he was
very abusive and mistreated her, besides
using threatening language. They sepa-
rated few months ago and the husband
went to California, since which time she
has heard nothing of him. The court

DR.. Crothers, in the Medical and Surei.

ment OF his views on cocoaine: among
alcohol inebriates and drug msniscs'
coeoalke inebrity is no doubt increasing.
Its peculiar dangerous effects on the
body will prevent its general use as an
intoIicant to any great extent. II acts
more rapily than opium, bat its effects

more exllerant than that of alcohol, but it
Is uncertain and valuable. This stimu-

or opium. As form of inebriety. il -

DR.. Hammond, of New York. finds. "a
the result of personal experience with

wine produced all the beneficial and none
OF the delerious effects of the drug. One
gram injected hypodermically has an
effect similar to that of two or three
glasses of champagne. He thinks that
cocoaine has refining and softeninp eff

lower the mental and moral tone and to

with great ease and wonderful progress
was made with medical work which he
was preparing. On the following morn

The New Cabinet Lady.
4

The wife of the new secretary of the
treasury, Charles S. Fairchild, is lady of
historic family and many social charms.
She was Miss Helen .Lincklaen, of Gaze
novia. On her fathers side she is de-
scended from John Lincklaen, gentle
man of means from Holland, who came
to the United States at the beginning of
the present century as the agent of the
Holland Land company and purchased a
tract of land in New York forty by four
miles, in the vicinity of Cazenovia. Mr.
Lincklaen married Miss Ledyard, of the
same Groton, Conn, family as the defend
er of Fort Griswold, New London harbor,
and who was pierced through the
body by the British commander after
he had surrendered his sword, and of
John Lsdyard, who circumnavigated the
globe with Capt. John Cook and was
with him when he was killed by the
cannibals of the Sandwich Islands.
The mother of Mrs. Fairchild is niece
or Horato Seymour. She still resides in
the statly old mansion reared by John
Lincklaen in the midst of what was form
erly known as the Holland tract. During
the past season Mrs. Fairchild took part
in social gayetiss, but her quiet ways
have always given her the appearance of
terdency.to recoil from too great promin-
ence in fashionable follies. With Mr..
Fairchild she was guest at the state din
ner to the diplomatic corps. She has al
ways been great favorite in the presi-
dents household.
In appearance Mrs. Fairchild is of mid
die statue, of generous figure, graceful,
interesting in conversation, but not ag-
gresive, generally acting on the defensive
In the topics of social talk. She has a
pleasant sface, andher toilets are in excel
lent taste. She will fill the sphere of
Mrs. Manning, but not with quite so much
stir. Mrs. Manning was at home in So
ciety. Mrs. Fairchild prefers the CONVEX
sation of a small circle of personal friens.

What May Convict Fotheringham.

The trial of Fotheringham, the nessen-
ger, who is accused of having robbed the
Western Express, will begin in st. Louis
before many days. The strongest testi-
mony against him is that of the engineer
of the Wabash train that lay alongside of
the San Francisco train in the st. Louis
depot the night of the express robbery.
Shortly before the San Francisco train
which left first, pulled out a man accosted
the engineer of the Wabash train
and asked him where the San Francisco
express car was. The engineer pointed it
out to him. just as the San Francisco
train pulled ont the same engineer noticed
the man showing valise into the San
Francisco express car and being pulled in
after it. Fotheringham's story was that
the stranger had boarded the car before
the train pulled out, and presented the
necessary credentials. After Jim Cum
mings was arrested the Wabash engineer
was taken to the jail to identify him. The
moment he clapped his eyes on him he
pointed Cummings out and said: There's
the man who asked where the San Fran
cisco express car was tina. night, and that
l aftervard saw being pulled into the
car"
